He is doing the rounds here tonight. Sadly I had popped out to Foster some cold ones and saw a crowd outside the new neighbour's house, literally missed him having him at the doorstep by ten minutes. I wonder if anyone will ask him about Noreen. I just missed Willie on the door! He is doing the rounds here tonight.

It was in the Limerick Leader with suitable expressions of disinterest in the process from local FF heavy hitters (in their own minds at least) such as Eddie (I could still get into the Dail) Wade and Jack (only a council seat makes me feel complete) Bourke. I think Wade said something closely along the lines of they can shove their interview up their prostate. I suspect that Noreen had her interview and picked up the vibe that she is not likely to be selected. I particular think her GE performance where she got barely 200 more votes than in the locals and she canvassed wearing sunglasses (was it the British Army that did the ad about the importance of making eye contact? Perhaps that is why she didn't see it). And bright young lad Brian Stokes (who works with/for Peter Power) is bucking to get on the ticket in Castleconnell. FF aren't going to hold their seats by nominating imperious lads and ladies who lunch. Still it is also better for her to leave the party in a huff because she was standing up for the 'local people', run as an independent and if elected to return to the fold triumphant. With the FF logo more toxic than my face on a poster it could be the only winning strategy for her and many others. No one ever said FFers were thick when it came to looking after themselves, it's only when it comes to looking out for the rest of us that the brain fails to engage.
